A Sample Development Process

• Adopt an iterative development process. "Discovery" at multiple points is not well exploited by traditional procedures, which expect all discovery to take place months (or years) before delivery.
  
  • "Politically, it was better for the team to deliver an application prototype every six weeks than to deliver a completed system after a year of coding." [panel 93.3]
    
• Incorporate feedback at every opportunity. Traditional procedures wait until the end of a project -- a year or more -- before incorporating lessons learned in the process.
  
• Innovate new ways of measuring success. Traditional checkpoints such as "design complete" do not acknowledge that the design will change afterward.
  
• Re define how old tasks are done. "Integration," "documentation," and "testing" should be a tightly integrated part of a developer's daily routine, not a phase of the project.
